Lurker > STEROLIZER

I'd do the whole "sir, This is a Wendy's." type thing, but the way you act tells me you never go outside.

This can be particularly troublesome if a moderator has a strong controversial opinion towards a subject or individual user. Of course, as community members of GameFaqs your going to have just as wide a range of opinions and emmotions as everyone else, but say for instance a moderator expresses displeasure towards an individual user, game, or entity (like Fandom) its going to subconsciously encourage the regular userbase to dogpile on.

Even if that was not the moderators intent, and the initial piece of content that the moderator contributed was not made with malicious intentthe users who will dogpile on might cross the ToS, into harassment or trolling territory.

Its why moderators, despite being a volunteer position, give up some community privledges in exchange for a smidge of professionalism.

Oh for the love of God. Get a hobby. Try craft brewing. Or crossfit. Something else to fit your "nobody asked" personality.

Fuck off.

Thats unfortunately how the confusion regarding howmemes that if said in the wrong board lead to suspensionsshenanigans/confusion start to materialize.

There was literally a post on your subreddit where you told Tails he should go to Dtoast to asked to be unbanned because his banning was unfair.

nt

You joined their discord just to tell them you dislike them and then left?

Idunno, something isn't adding up.

STEROLIZER is like the guy who supports Tails, SMIB, and greenmist on the trash subreddit as they trash Fandom, all while simultaneously shilling Fandom.

I take that back, he IS that guy.

And with the LUEification of CE, the user can't see what is being said anyway. Given suspensions/bans may impact a person's continued access to CE it would be logical to allow us to mention that it has happened to someone.

We should be allowed to make suspended topics

I am actually speechless at this post right now. Stero, lookthe traditional forum format isnt just dying, its dead.

Maybe dont even single post anymore. I think everyone has read enough of your manifestos.

Just stop. This is becoming really sad.

You could keep spamming and get banned. That might make your corporate overlords at Fandom three extra cents when people view the topic to laugh about it. Win win imo.

Literally 7 posts with no reply. Good lord.

• asked me a direct question
• replied to something I posted
• quoted something I posted
• was talking about me, including using my name in their response

Dude, how could you forget illegal warez/cracks/pirated material/etc. under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act IIRC. IP infringement is the one violation which websites as publishers do not have immunity to under Section 230.

However, one of his biggest flaws is that he seems to ignore some of the factoids that people have repeatedly pointed out (e.g. the decline of message boards, as they are not popular with younger generations.)

• Game Trailers
• Game News
• Influencer Videos
• User Streams
• Hot Topics
• Developer Blogs
• Developers Posts
• New Game Guides
• New Video Guides
• New Pre-Registration Gifts
• New Beta Tests
• Game Launches
• Users on your friends list requesting partners for playthroughs

That, and he appears to assume that he knows more about the ins and outs of monetizing websites than anyone else on these boards due to having a short occupational background in this area.

Nobody on CE gives a flying fuck what is in the best interest of Fandom's future profits, Stero. If we're not part of the future, then this place can burn for all anyone cares. We aren't invested in it as some strange empathy towards the profit margins of corporations. We just want somewhere to shitpost.

And Fandom doesn't give a fuck about you or your suggestions. They look down on you just like they do the rest of us and they'll boot you out some day without a second thought.

he just ducks out.

Doesn't he claim he's some kind of social media marketing guru?

From my experience working with those guys they are very blinkered, dogmatic and stat driven and don't take criticism well.

It's because Stero is a crypto bro who thinks Fandom will hire him as CEO or something if he sucks up hard enough.

Unbanning everyone only for them to get rebanned within a day from the play nice rule

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/8edb501b.jpg

I did literally this all the time for years and never once got moderated for it.

Like I said hes boasted about being responsible for getting 261 closed and CE going private. He doesnt want to see Gamefaqs thrive. He just wants all the users that have ever wronged him in his mind to suffer.

Both of those things contradict eachother. Boards are a dying format, which is why you need marketing savvy to update and modernize them for a wider audience.

Easiest way is to create a mobile app, where the boards topics and posts are mostly engaged with via a social media feed similar to Instagram or tiktok

Still laughing at the idea of unbanning and emailing EVERY SINGLE BANNED USER to welcome them back.

I am laughing at the optics of unbanning users who have literally posted about how they want to kill minorities and saying 'welcome back'.

I know you're a joke, but you don't need to keep repeating the punchline.

Ah yes, because that worked wonders in the past!

So.. whats the over/under on how much longer Stero will be with us here?

You mean the system where a lead mod and then an admin looked at your dispute? Instead of the current system where dozens of mods vote on what they feel the proper action is upon reading your dispute? Gee, I wonder which system is the one with the multiple second opinions.

You're the only person on your side.

As has been oft repeated the issue is with the implementation.

1. Revert to old system, with multiple second opinions, and mandatory mod notes this system placed emphasis on rehabilitation and getting users back to engaging with the platform and generating new content as quickly as possible
2. Id unban every single account. There are banned accounts from 2002. Give everyone a second chance. Send out an email blast informing all registered accounts of the changes, and welcoming them back.
3. Ad a play nice rule a vague rule that basically eliminates meanness from the platform. All conversation must be friendly. Anything antagonistic, or unfriendly in anyway is removed.
4. I would pay the current moderators a salary. I would allocate 250k a year for this, which is the equivalent of one Marketing Executive salary. This would be allocated to 20 different moderators at approximately 1k a month.
5. Id then begin zoom interviews with every single current moderator, to determine which 20 get the position. Obviously being willing to dox oneself, sign a 1099, and willingness to attend weekly synch meetings will play a part in who gets the position.
6. The new SOP or call to action for the moderation team would be to foster positive engagement, without eliminating content. The more people posting the better. So lots of deletion w/ no karma loss, and detailed mod notes to guide users on how to improve their posting habits.
7. Moderators are now community managers, and no longer referred to as moderators their roles change from something similar to that of an authority figure, to something more akin to a mediator. They still uphold the ToS, but its secondary to their main job of ensuring that discussions stay friendly, and everyone gets along.

im not talking about community managers, stop changing the subject

Maybe at head office but its clear as day the admins and mods didnt know about it until it hit.

The decision was obviously made long ago despite community protest. Next excuse

edit: clearly youve never worked for a big company with 100s of employees if you think they are as crippled and unable to act as they appear to be simply because of their size. They dont even communicate which has 0 excuse even if they had 20,000 employees

But they did make random changes at the drop of a dime already so that already invalidates your entire post

replying != acting on or accepting

Why does sharing an opinion need an endgame? Have you been on the internet before? Or spoke to a human being? If I tell you "I like pizza" do you take that as me trying to get you to buy me a pizza?

Not once did they accept constructive criticism

Nah I'm pretty content with shittin on them thx for the paragraph tho
